Valkyrie Gaunlets

 Hi guys! I must say I feel lucky. I've recently purchased a pair of Valkyrie gaunlets that were listed on eBay. So, finally I can complete my Valkyrie costume, when Ive bought the Valkyrie wardrobe it arrived with just one gaunlet, I thought I would never had the chance to complete the outfit cause the Valkyrie props are quite rare, and also, I thought if anyone sells his Valkyrie props will be the complete costume, but, it happened. A UK seller agreed to ship to Spain the pair of Valkyrie gaunlets.

As I already know the Valkyrie costume was made with very fragile and delicate materials. I think the kind of soft flexible plastic/resin that were made all the leaves of the costume with the time become started to crack in the part with more tension or more exposed. You can see in the photos that the main leaf piece of the gaunlet is divided in two parts. However, the condition is not the best I think if I glued with care will work.

It comes with a Certificate of authenticity and a kind of source history summary.

Amazon screenused armbands

 After a bit of research Ive found when appeared the amazon armbands that come with the Solari Costume. In this case, they were seen in the episode “Endgame” from season 4 during the amazon dance before the battle against Pompey. 

Firstly, Ive thought that the armband without the metal spirals pieces would have fallen off after the production but no, they can be seen with and without that kind of metal, copper, spirals arround. 

The armbands are made with a kind of soft material inside, covered with black leather and rivets, they have an elastic band to be adjusted in the arm that it is also covered with leather. They are very well conserved and in good condition.
